Hey guys, I've been lurking for a few weeks now planning for a modeling/ rendering computer (CS4, Solidworks, AliasStudio). No intentions of gaming, might OC at some point, don't foresee any Crossfire or SLI and I'll be reusing all my peripherals. As it stands, it is about $1000, which is roughly my budget.
Still not convinced on the GPU, however. Seems that nVidia plays nicer with these type of programs vs ATI. Would like to keep it in the $100-$120 range, and again I don't foresee any Crossfire or SLI. 1GB would be nice as well. I am Open to any suggestions.
Build List
CPU: Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz LGA 1366
